IPL 2021: “Breaks during a shoot are for box cricket” – Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin seen playing box cricket

IPL 2021: “Breaks during a shoot are for box cricket” – Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin seen playing box cricket

Players of the Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise were seen shooting playing box cricket between the shoot. Captain Rishabh Pant was seen playing “box cricket” with ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and India’s Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane during a shoot.

In the 10-second video, Pant throws a ball at Ajinkya Rahane and as he plays the ball, Ashwin takes a catch while standing close to the batsman and celebrates. However, the new Delhi Capitals skipper then asks his team to tag Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Shubman Gill in the post.

In the absence of the injured Shreyas Iyer, DC decided to hand over the responsibility of captaincy to Rishabh Pant and it remains to be seen how the exciting youngster will go about his duties.

The official Twitter handle of the Delhi Capitals shared the video and captioned it, “Breaks during a shoot are for box cricket, of course Tagging @RealShubmanGill here because our skipper said so #YehHaiNayiDilli  @RishabhPant17 @ajinkyarahane88 @ashwinravi99.”

As it wasn’t clear why he told to tag Gill but it seems like Gill was tagged because the opening batsman normally fields in closed position in Test Cricket.

Delhi Capitals begin their IPL campaign against the Chennai Super Kings on the 10th of April.
